I was all set to get a set of Kuryakyn iso pegs to match my iso grips but when I started looking I saw a plethora of peg options available. Suggestions for peg options? My #1 goal is to enhance comfort on long rides, #2 is aesthetics. I have tried boards but just prefer the pegs. Ideas? Also what is the cheapest place to find a Kuryakyn Triumph adapter?

Funny story. I was at a motorcycle shop looking at gloves. This guy in his Harley costume walked up and asked what kind of gloves I thought were the best. He said that he had the Iso Grips, and a nice set of gloves with the gel inserts to keep the vibrations from numbing his hands.
I told him I couldn't help him. I ride a Triumph and our bikes don't jump around like a dog $hiting bones, so I don't need the gel and all that stuff.
He was dumbfounded. He walked outside to take a look at my bike, but as he was walking past his he slipped and fell on the oil slick his bike had left so we never talked (Okay, I made that last part up)

Kuryakyn dually pegs and stirrups. Completely adjustable and comfortable without the footboard look.

Is this the dually / Stirrups? Pretty nice.
I currently have the Kuryakyn switchblades but they rotate down if I put heel pressure on the flipout part. Just wonder if the Dually's do the same?

I've had to do some work on mine to prevent them from rotating down; I've used my dremel tool with a cut-off wheel to cut notches on the male and female ends of the fitting to simulate knurling, and then I use red loctite when assembling the things to the adapter. It seems to hold a little better than original, although I still don't put my full weight on them.

You really have to crank down on that bolt too. I had a little spin too, so I used my dremel to scuff up the tapered faces good and used blue loctite (all I had). If it comes loose again, I'll get in there with more dramatic knurling and go get some red stuff. I noticed it mainly on the right side since pushing down in effect loosens that bolt. It would be a great place for some left-hand threaded bolts!!

I used a dremel like others to surface (I actually cut linear grooves all around- went through a few bits doing it) the tapered parts. I used JB Weld rather than loctite and tighted the 1/4" allen bolt on the end.
I can stand on them all day and they don't budge. Just make sure you like the angle before using the JB Weld.
